Welcome to America

We arrived in America on Saturday after a long, bumpy 12hr flight.

Alex and Tara (Renee's parents friends) picked us up from the airport took us home for a quick shower and then whisked us off to see the sights of Hollywood, woot-woot.
First stop was Pinks a hot dog joint that was first established as a cart on the side walk in 1939 and 60 years later it is a small building with a que that wraps almost half way round it waiting for the most famous hot dogs in Hollywood. The walls are covered in autographed photos of all the "stars" that have eaten or regularly send their gofers to go wait in the hour long que to pick up a hot dog for them. check out the size of the onion rings almost the size of Matt's head...now that's big hehehe http://picasaweb.google.com/mattblairmail/Pinks?authkey=fRtXRJy88uo

Then we moved on to see the Chines main theater that's the one that has all the hand prints and foot prints of the actors and actresses in the footpaths. That was cool apart from the wired and extremely life like Freddie Crogure (sorry about my spelling) who kept following me asking if I liked his chain saw. Oh and the theater is on Hollywood Blvd that's also the street that has the stars with names in it. http://picasaweb.google.com/mattblairmail/Hollywood?authkey=xz-W128UEas
After that we went for a quick drive up Rodao drive (where pretty woman went shopping.) Then for a look around Beverly hills to see all the massive mentions.

Then home to bed. ahhhh
